Bajiquan (Hakkyokuken)

Bājíquán (Chinese: 八極拳; pinyin: Bājíquán) is a Chinese martial art that features explosive, short-range power and is famous for its elbow strikes. It originated in Hebei Province in Northern China, but is also well known in other places today, especially Taiwan. Its full name is kai men baji quan (開門八極拳), which means "open-gate eight-extremities fist". A feature of this art is the loud stomping action that is designed to scare opponents while at the same time developing the practitioner’s internal energy.

The art was once called Ba Zi Quan (巴子拳 or 鈀子拳; rake fist), due to the fact that when not striking, the fist was held loosely and slightly open, resembling a rake, and also because the art involved many downward strike moves, like a rake's movement in the field. The name was considered to be rather crude sounding however in its native tongue, so it was changed to Bajiquan.
